The bigest return on a chart is the 3rd Leg UP look for my Dumpster Diving pics..............................................link back for prior pics

GOALS: 1....Start your trade at beginning of run.....not after it begins 2....steady returns of 15 % to 45 % per trade 3....NOT to shoot for the moon 4....Don't hold stinkie pinkies under .50 overnight5....trade off support and resistance points 6....Before entering ........know where to exit 7.....do your own D * D, buy at your own risk

2....... Using The CCI Indicator With The Candlestick "Reversal Bar" Pattern

•Reversal Bars work best in a developed trend - If a trend has been going for some time, then it is reasonable to wonder when it is going to end. The reversal bar can help. If a trend has previously been down, then the reversal bar (bar #2) should make a lower low. •Close should be greater than the previous close: Not only should the price reverse back up, but it should do so convincingly. •Close should be greater than the open: At the end of the day there is more interest in buying the market than selling it.

I have marked the outside -200/+200 range in red lines, and the mid -100/+100 range in blue lines.

If you look at the example chart above and try to interpret the CCI without taking into account the Reversal bars, which are marked, then we have 2 situations where we have the CCI indicating the change of trend. The potential change in trend is indicated by the fact that the CCI has reached -200 or + 200 and is either overbought or oversold.

The first blue circle shows an oversold situation, where the CCI has turned up from the -200 level. This is an indication to go long and I would wait for the CCI to cross the -100 level before entering a trade.

The second red circle shows an overbought situation along with divergence, which is a strong signal to go short. Similarly, one would wait for the CCI to cross the +100 level down, before taking a short position.

The problem is that the CCI indicator is not strong enough as a stand alone method but when you also use reversal bars as a confirmation, it can be very accurate

There are 4 Reversal Bars marked on the chart, as these bars satisfy all the 3 conditions mentioned above to qualify as Reversal Bars. All 4 of the reversal bars resulted in a profit but the Reversal bars 2 and 4 occur around the time the CCI was overbought/oversold, which gives the trade an additional confirmation.
